Scientific paper

The basic principles of the physics of shock waves are summarised, showing how shock pressures, shock and post-shock temperatures, and shock durations can be estimated in the case of large meteorite impacts on Earth. In a second part, the pertinence of laboratory high-pressure dynamic experiments for simulating large meteorite impact events and for calibrating their physical conditions is discussed. It is concluded that most shock features are common to natural and laboratory shocks, although the lifetime of experimental shocked states is shorter by several orders of magnitude. Then, a review is made of the major shock effects observed in minerals and rocks.
